To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, ALBERT N. NoREIs and HARRISON D. SBANGLEE, of4Rushville,

` Rush county, Indiana, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Seeding-Ma Achines, of 'which the following is aspecificachine embodying our improvements; and Fig.

2 is a plan of the same.

In the drawings, A represents the frame of the machine; B, the axle; C,rearward eX- tensions of the side pieces of the same; kD, the

seed-box; E, the tongue; F, the wheels; G, a cross-piece of the frame tothe rear of the axle; II, hanger-castings secured to the rear ends ofthe extension C; I, bolts engaging slots in the hanger-castings, andsecuring said cast- 'ings in -their places; J, a cylindrical bai',prefper extremities of the arms K; N, a seat bolted to said board, and aslot in said seat in which the attaching-bolt engages.

The seat may occupy the position indicated in Fig. 1, or it may tipforward. against the seed-box in an obvious manner.

The bar J may be adjusted to and from the seed-box by means of theVslots in the hangercasting, whereby the position of the seat may 4o bealtered at will to cause the drivers weight to have the proper balancingeffect. A further adjustment of a similar naturel may be effected bymoving the seat on its supporting board in an obvious manner.

The seat arrangement may be moved from one end of the machine to theother, whereby the driver is enabled to take lhis position near the lineof the previously-formed seed-row, which guides him in his driving.

We claim as our invention- 1. The combination, in a seeding-machine, ofthe bar J, Aattached to the frame of the seeder, and fitted to adjustthereon, the seatsupport pivoted thereon, and the seat tted to adjustupon its support, substantially as and for the purpose specified. l

2. In a seeding-machine, the combination of the bar J, securedto therear of the frame,A and a drivers seat pivoted on said bar,and 6o ttedto slide along the same.
